Forgotten Footprints
It is August 1711 and 15 year old Annie boards the East Indian ship, Zuytdorp, to sail to a new life in Java with her parents and their servant, May.
Annie's hope for the future quickly dissolves as disease, death and intrigue plague the ship. In the face of tragedy, Annie shows grit and heroism and finds her only solace in a growing friendship with the one person she can trust - a young midshipman.
One afternoon a violent storm appears on the horizon and it is then that their struggle really begins.

February 6, 2022This is the first English book that I understand all the words (English is my second language). I love all the casts. Annie didn't make it until the end. Poor Annie and François, I want them to be together.
